What I'm looking for

I am seeking a managerial agricultural role where I can lead production operations, improve yields and quality, mentor teams, and drive profitability in a compliance-focused, growth-oriented environment.

I am an experienced agricultural production manager with hands-on leadership across commercial farms in South Africa and Zimbabwe, focused on increasing yields, ensuring quality and maximizing profitability.

I have led end-to-end agricultural operations including production planning, crop protection, irrigation, harvesting logistics, contract negotiation and grower technical support while maintaining compliance with company and regulatory standards.

My background includes managing teams, recruiting and training labor, implementing SOPs, calibrating spraying and irrigation systems, and conducting field trials and crop data analysis to inform decisions and improvements.

I bring strong organizational, problem-solving and decision-making skills, a commitment to biosecurity and crop health, and experience in budgeting, procurement and identifying market opportunities to deliver measurable business growth.
